FeatuREquest: “GPS lost temporarily? Don't dim screen” #8

Open AceHaatana opened 2 years ago

AceHaatana commented 2 years ago

The GPS lockout activates each time my phone cannot momentarily track my location.

In the recent weeks this has been common; my screen dims several times a day even when I'm away from home.

Could an on/off toggle be added, whereby you could choose if the app will react anyhow if the location cannot be found?

Thanks and keep up the great work.

Hey, you're the first one to notice. We did indeed implement a new lock condition for when GPS is unavailable in the last version. Guess we'll have to implement your suggestion in the next update. :-)

I also have the problem very commonly. If possible I would like the app to use the last location in that case as a toggle instead and or multiply the lock area times 10. i.e. if last the phone was to be locked it won't unlock but if it was far outside the lock area it can stay open

Hi Sirati, did you try playing with the option "Lock phone if location unknown"? You can find it below the different lock periods. In theory it should help you in your situation.
